"This took me less than one week from idea, to coding the add-on, to
registering and coding the website, to making the graphics, to writing
this long ass wall of text and to making fun of you – without taking
time off from work.
It also cost me less than 100 USD.
How much time, money and effort has this cost you? "

ICE taketh away, we giveth back!"

We plan to maintain a list of URLs, and their duplicate sites (for
example Demoniod.com and Demoniod.de) and painlessly redirect you to the
correct site.

How it works:
- You install our add-on into your browser
- If ever Demoniod.com is seized by ICE or the upcoming COICO
legislation it won’t matter.
- You simply type Demoniod.com into your browser as usual, the browser
sends the address to the add-on, the add-on checks if Demoniod.com is on
the list of sites to be redirected and immediately redirects you to the
mirror site.
This happens in microseconds and completely transparent to you (the
user).

The best thing about it is:  Absolutely no need to remember or bookmark
strange URLs (like http://sc3njt2i2j4fvqa3.tor2web.org) or IP addresses,
you use your browser exactly like you did before.

While it's true that you need DNS to get to the sites, what everyone
seems to have forgotten that there is one common piece of software that
EVERYONE uses to get to sites (ok, leaving out the maga geeks) : a
browser.

We control the redirection _before_ (and this is important) the browser
tries to connect to the DNS server.
Whatever blocks, notices, threats, etc ICE or anyone else puts up at the
DNS level is as worthless as the IFPI/RIAA/MPAA to mankind.

 With Firefox 4 add-ons can be automatically updated, which means users
won’t even know a domain has been censored as we can put out the
automatic updates as soon as they start their browser in addition to
sending the updated list as it's done now.

The MAFIAA parasites want to play whack a mole? Bring it on! Our moles
are on steroids and wear helmets
 they also have Italian connections and
are holding your (fat) momma hostage!
